Messrs. Noel Murray & Co. of Shangbai in their latest Piox Goods Report, dated Shanghai 27th November, states:-The full significance of the recent events in the Capital has now been realised by the country and ample signs of loyal and respectful mourning are, after some little dilatoriness, now in evidence. So far the new order of things is running smoothly, and all is quict, to the outsile world at all events, but there is naturally a certain amount of anxiety to know more precisely if this can be relied upon as settled and lasting. For that reason trade is almost at a stand-still at the moment pending more definite information 5.15 concerning the future policy of the Government. The Country is undoubtedly in argent want of goods and orders are already in hand, but are being kept back pending the assurance that there is to be no serious trouble. Money is still very tight, but judicious relief is being doled out and everything possible done to bring about healthy state of affairs. Bither disturbing rews was received early in the interval con- cerning a mutiny amongst some of the troops assembled up the Yangtze for the maneuvers, but it appears to have been promptly quelled
much without causing
alarin beyond the immediate neighbourhood. No steamers have cleared for Nowchwang direct since the date of our last report, but we understand the trade there is progessing satisfactorily and should lead to shipments by way of one of the open Ports
of American goods no doult to take advantage of the cheaper direct route while it is open, but chests, chests, chests. chests. shipments via Chinwangtao are already being tkol about to avoid the risk of being ico bound at Taku: The threatended tabooing of Kiaochor by shippers, which we mentioned two or three weeks ago, has been very effectual, judging by the recent Cust ms returns, but Chefoo has not benefit!ed to any great extent as yt. The River trade is exceedingly quiet, but Ningpo is taking moderately good supplies. The deliveries declared this week of American goods are especially noticeable there being, in addition t› the fairly heavy shipments to Newchwang, 7,230 picces, Drills and 9,740 piecos Sheetings for New York, which is significant, and shows the wide margin there must be het wan that market and this in some goods. The Corean market is inactive, and although no specific reason C10 be given the dealers here who are interested in that trade do not anticipate any further demand until next season. Rec ut telegrams from Russia would seem to indicate that the fos port system of Vladivostock will soon be a thing of the past, which will be a pity, as it is getting increasingly useful as an outlet for this market. The Manchester market
all is about unchanged from
appearances, though there is little enough business offering for this to test it at all. The only thing we have gathered is that single Yrns are slightly easier. Not much support can be expected from India we are afraid, as the Natives there or at all events in Bombay, appear to have done very bally this last year, their losses it is said Kobe, 16th, November.- Cotton.--American. — amounting to „£66′,0 0.
